The initial 12-month term beginning October 1, 2026 is capped at $13,946,970, with four one-year extension options at the same amount each, for a total not to exceed $69,734,850.

These are the incentive checks that help Austinites and building owners offset the cost of things like rooftop solar and efficiency retrofits, and the larger ones need Council's sign-off to go out the door.

  Authorize negotiation and execution of an amendment to the interlocal agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority to provide equipment and services for Austin Watershed Protection to provide and operate the Flood Early Warning System data radio network to increase the agreement by $36,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Funding: $36,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 Austin Watershed Protection Operating Budget. Funding for future 12-month renewal options authorized by the agreement is contingent upon available funding in future budgets.

  This amends Austin's existing interlocal agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority, which supplies and runs the data radio network behind the city's Flood Early Warning System.

The amendment adds $36,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, available in the Watershed Protection operating budget, with future 12-month renewals depending on funding in later budgets.

  Approve a resolution authorizing Austin Water to continue the GoPurple pilot incentive program and issue incentives on a pilot basis during Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for alternative onsite water reuse systems and reclaimed water connections for new commercial, mixed use, and multi-family developments in the total aggregate amount of $4,000,000, not to exceed $1,500,000 per project for affordable housing projects exempt from the GoPurple reuse requirements, and not to exceed $500,000 per project for all other projects. Funding: $4,000,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget of Austin Water.

  This resolution keeps Austin Water's GoPurple pilot incentive program running through Fiscal Year 2026-2027, paying developers of new commercial, mixed-use, and multifamily projects to install alternative onsite water reuse systems or connect to the city's reclaimed "purple pipe" network. It matters because those systems recycle water for things like cooling and irrigation instead of drawing on drinking water supplies, and the incentives target both market-rate projects and affordable housing developments that are exempt from GoPurple's reuse requirements. The program is funded at $4,000,000 from Austin Water's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget, capped at $1,500,000 per affordable housing project and $500,000 per project for everything else.
